Toro, SPAIN

Toro is an exciting wine region nestled in the heart of Castilla y Leon, in the province of Zamora. It is named for its main town, Toro which is a delight to visit. Perched on a cliff overlooking the Duero River, which becomes the Douro in Portugal just 90 kilometres further west, the skyline is dominated by the lovely collegiate church of Santa Maria la Mayo.

You do not have to look very hard to find wine in Toro, it is all around you. Indeed the southern part of the region is contiguous with the historic Tierra del Vino, while north of the Duero river we are in the Tierra del Pan – the two staples of traditional Spanish life within spitting distance.
